Of Men, Roles And Rules: Nanni Moretti’S Habemus Papam, Davide Zordan
Of Men, Roles And Rules: Nanni Moretti’S Habemus Papam, Davide Zordan
Journal of Religion & Film
This paper focuses on Nanni Moretti’s Habemus Papam and in particular on its representation of the interaction between religion and masculinity. In the light of gender studies, it asks which idea of masculinity, but also of fatherhood, Catholicism and its system of authority tend to encourage according to the film, and it assesses the opportunities for change that the film imaginatively explores. The analysis of the idea of masculinity investigates in particular the distinction between person and office, the necessity of which is dramatically illustrated in the film.

The Sins Of Leo Mccarey, Richard A. Blake S.J.
The Sins Of Leo Mccarey, Richard A. Blake S.J.
Journal of Religion & Film
Leo McCarey has received little attention from film scholars. His sentimentalizing his Catholic background and his preoccupation with anti-Communism obscured the lasting value of much of his work. His concern with sin and forgiveness form a major motif of his works, from the early comedies to his later serious dramas.
Spirit(Uality) In The Films Of Terrence Malick, Christopher B. Barnett
Spirit(Uality) In The Films Of Terrence Malick, Christopher B. Barnett
Journal of Religion & Film
This paper will argue that Terrence Malick is a theological filmmaker, even though scholars have preferred to emphasize his indebtedness to Martin Heidegger. It will proceed by way of Malick’s use of wind imagery. First, it will show that the wind motif recalls theological notions about God as spirit. Second, it will illustrate how Malick employs wind imagery, revealing a sensitivity to the wind’s evocation of God’s presence and absence. Third, it will argue that Malick’s cinematic restraint identifies the practice of detachment [Gelassenheit] as the link between his theological and Heideggerian interests.
